** If that weren't bad enough, the episode prior, "The Best Burger in the World", instead of punishing the two with his usual way (making them clean the mess up and threatens to fire them if they don't), he steals their burgers and eats them. While this doesn't sound bad, keep in mind that these were actually the best burgers in the world, made only once everyone hundred years.

** In the infamous "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS18E18TheBoysOfBummer The Boys of Bummer]]", Bart costs Springfield the Little League Championship and the [[HumansAreBastards crowd boos at him.]] He runs out of the stadium and asks [[BadCopIncompetentCop Chief Wiggum]] for safety, but he drives Bart '''back''' ''into the stadium'' where the angry spectators throw food and beer cans at him. It culminates in Bart being ''told to [[DrivenToSuicide commit suicide]] and end up in a coma, after which everyone gathers outside the hospital to '''continue verbally abusing'''''. It's gotten to the point where [[MamaBear Marge furiously]] [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech calls them out and puts them into shame for their abuse to him.]]
-->'''Marge:''' [[ShamingTheMob YOU SHOULD ALL BE ASHAMED! Passing judgement on a child for a sports boo-boo! What have you people ever done!?]]\\
'''Lenny:''' Well, I write a bestselling series of mystery novels. Creator/StephenKing called it "Scary, good fun".\\
'''Marge:''' Besides that.\\
''(The townspeople lower their heads in shame)''\\
'''Marge:''' Now, thanks to you, my special little guy will be haunted by this for the rest of his life. [[CardCarryingJerkass I always thought that was just a slogan to attract small businesses. ''(points to a billboard reading "Springfield: Meanest City in America")'' But now I know it's the truth!]]

* An episode of ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries,'' "[[Recap/TheAdventuresOfBatmanAndRobinE2ABulletForBullock A Bullet for Bullock]]", is a DayInTheLimelight for Harvey Bullock that consists largely of Bullock kicking every metaphorical dog he sees. Before this episode he seemed like a sour cop who bent the rules a little too much (although he prided himself on never taking a bribe), but he established himself as an absolutely unsympathetic GoodIsNotNice [[{{Jerkass}} dick]] when Summer Gleeson, the Gotham news reporter and anchor, offered to help him if he waited a few minutes, and he ''rummaged through her office'' instead of waiting. Heck, Bullock's treatment of Nivens, his landlord, is what prompts the landlord [[spoiler:to try to kill him in return]].
** In [[Recap/BatmanTheAnimatedSeriesE5PrettyPoison "Pretty Poison"]] Pamela Isley let's out an EvilLaugh at the thought of a comatose Harvey Dent being expected not to pull through, her having been the one to place him in said life threatening state via [[DruggedLipstick a goodnight kiss]].
** In ''WesternAnimation/BatmanMaskOfThePhantasm'', ComicBook/TheJoker literally kicks an adorable (robotic) dog.

** Squidward loves doing this to [=SpongeBob=] in the early seasons. Examples include "Fools in April," in which he made [=SpongeBob=] cry during a cruel, painful prank, and "Home Sweet Pineapple," in which he gleefully dances/cheers when [=SpongeBob=] is moving away (something that [=SpongeBob=] is distraught about early on). There's also "Christmas Who?" in which Squidward taunts [=SpongeBob=] when Santa doesn't show up, laughs at him, and even shakes his butt triumphantly in his direction -- while [=SpongeBob=] is crying. In addition, "Naughty Nautical Neighbors," when Squidward intentionally ruins [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick's friendship for no good reason.

** In the "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS7E6TreehouseOfHorrorVI Treehouse of Horror VI]]" segment where the giant ads all come to life, Marge convinces Homer to return the giant doughnut to the Lard Lad in order to end the destruction. Lard Lad gets back his doughnut, smiles at it contently, and then ''kicks Santa's Little Helper in the next state'' and walks away down the street smashing the roofs of every house with his giant doughnut along the way.

*** Burns comes awfully close to literal in "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS3E19DogOfDeath Dog of Death]]" when he has Bart's innocent, gentle pet dog strapped to a chair, and ForcedToWatch [[BreakTheCutie several clips of animal abuse]] to [[BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil turn him into]] an AngryGuardDog. Later in the same episode, when Smithers says to Burns, "A sweet little boy is here to see you," Burns says, "Release the hounds." Said little boy is actually Bart.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'', ComicBook/{{Starfire}}'s sister Blackfire tries to frame her for a crime ''and'' steal her boyfriend.
** Two seasons later, Blackfire tries to force Starfire into marriage so she'll have to leave their home planet, giving Blackfire a clear shot at the throne.

** The customer in "Pizza Delivery" who yelled at [=SpongeBob=] so harshly that the poor guy ''cried''. Squidward, of all people, is shown to be absolutely ''[[EveryoneHasStandards appalled]]'' by this, and he rightfully repays the customer for his cruelty by [[LaserGuidedKarma smashing the pizza in his face]].

** Zhao, in his appearance in "The Southern Air Temple", openly insults Zuko, a teenager, calling him a failure and saying that even his own father didn't want him ([[JerkassHasAPoint though he's ultimately proven correct come Book 2]], just to how arrogant and cruel he is.

* In ''WesternAnimation/BatmanMaskOfThePhantasm'', ComicBook/TheJoker literally kicks an adorable (robotic) dog.

** In [[Recap/BatmanTheAnimatedSeriesE5PrettyPoison "Pretty Poison"]] Pamela Isley let's out an EvilLaugh at the thought of a comatose Harvey Dent being expected not to pull through, her having been the one to place him in said life threatening via [[DruggedLipstick a goodnight kiss]].

*** In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsWhoShotMrBurns Who Shot Mr. Burns?]]" he developed a project to block sunlight from reaching Springfield, to deprive them of one more alternative source of heat and light. His [[ExtremeDoormat usually unquestioning assistant]] Smithers [[EvenEvilHasStandards strongly objected to this]] and was fired as a result. A town hall meeting was held about this, and Burns showed up '''just''' when the whole town was being shown what Burns' oil drilling operation did to Bart's pet dog, who was seen using wheels just to walk down the hallway.
